AODSEVELT PRAISES
W 06 TON
GREEN BAY, Wise. — (AP) —
President Roosevelt brought to
Wisconsin Thursday a message of
confidence reborn among the peo
ple and an assurance that the New
Deal purposes “no injury to hon
est business,” but a prosperous
growth in which all may share.
In a state talking about a new
party, the President, homeward
bound after spanning = a great
stretch of the northwest and the
drought-afflicted prairie states,
pronounced his major declaration
of the first -campaign year since
1932 and said the “New Deal” is
going forward. '
“Those who would measure con
fidence in this country in the fu
ture must look first to the aver
age citizen,” he said. .
“Confidence is returning to our
agricultural population who, in
spite of unpredictable and uncon
trollable drought in a large area,
ig glving understanding eoopera
tion to practical planning and the
ending of - useless bickering and
sectional thinking of the past.
“Confidence is returning to the

ing numbers, are comparing the

of many years gone by; to the

Must Give Allegiance

To President Hitler
BERLlN.—(#)—Germany’s Prot
estant pastors and church officials
will be required to take an oath of
fealty to Chancellor Hitler, just as
Nazi storm troopg and members of
the regular army did last week.
This important step to secure
Hitler uniform support following
his assumption of the powers of
president, was announced by Dr.
August Jaeger, Nazi commissioner
for Protestan{ churches.
Jaeger at the same time explain
ed new rules to be imposad by the
national synod today which will
deliver the Protestant church, bag
and baggage, into the hands of
Reichsbishop Ludwig Mueller, Hit
ler follower, and the German
Christiang (Nazi churchmen.)
They appear designed to stamp
out independent thought and ac
tion by the clergy, a considerable
number of whom have strongly
opposed Mueller’s dictatorial steps
toward achieving the Nazi pro
gram of 4 unified Protestant
church.
The new measures, as Dr. Jae
ger put it, “will end all foolish
-table about violation of law and
justice.”
They will be voted into effect
by Mueller’s rubber stamp synod.
A government official was placed
in charge of operations of the com
pany as “interventor.”
A group of employes of the firm,
which serves the entire island, en
tered the building here last night,
asserting they would remain until
the issue was golved gatisfactorily.
Many of them have opposed re
hiring of the former strike lead
ers.
Spokesmen for the workers said
they would sahotage the plant if
the army tried to remove them.
Details of a transfer had not
been worked out. It was under
stood the company retains title to
the properties but the government
takes over responsibility for senv
ice.
President Carlos Mendieta, and
his cabinet remained in lengthy
session on the gu:astion.
